I'm fine with that sort of thing because the creators of the game do the same thing. Flavour text on items are usually full of puns and jokes because not every item description can be some serious excerpt. However, most japanese puns don't translate into english well, so yeah, in that case they can make their own pun. Doesn't change the creator's vision, unlike replacing touching moments between characters with myspace memes.

See, while it isn't perfect this is slightly better because the Safety Dance is a timeless reference everyone gets.

Internet memes are flashes in the pan and date themselves horribly. These types of jokes, while cheesy, age better. And honestly…that flavor text doesn't really matter. Not like totally changing the tone of a scene.

It's goon tactics. They're so obsessed with seeming more mature or morally superior to others - but that's exactly the kind of behavior seen in immature people. It's the same concept as demonization. If you can't form an argument, you make your opponent seem immature / stupid / inhuman and yourself seem like the 2cool4school kid and you win. That's the idea, anyway. This doesn't actually work in the real world.

I've been thinking could you make a case that the Fire Emblem localization is sexist. I mean all the dumb stupid lines I've seen posted so far have all been from female characters. All these lines make the characters sound like fucking children. Is the script written to make women speak like infants?

There's a time and place for dad jokes like that, and it definitely isn't in the middle of an emotional scene or one of plot signficance. Matter of fact, it shouldn't show up in dialogue at all. I'm okay with it showing up in a minor description blurb like that, especially if it's a joke weapon.

Why is is thread slow? Anyways let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. Barack Obama is undertaking a systematic effort to change this country, to make America more like the rest of the world.

Okay that's understandable, though let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. Barack Obama is undertaking a systematic effort to change this country, to make America more like the rest of the world.

Any updates on the new ggwiki? Last I heard an anon was looking into hosting and domain names. There's been a lot of anal annihilation lately and I'd love nothing more than to update those pages and revel in the smug.

It would also be nice to have something to be distracted with on the last Valentine's Day before I reach wizardhood.

Unfortunately no updates on that I've seen, hopefully he was just busy rather than something preventing it from happening. If anyone remembers the email address he gave you might be able to use it to get in contact.

I tried logging someone other follower list via going to the mobile site, then archiving said moblie version of the follower list, but it only logged the 20 followers, like so: https://archive.is/qo2ka

What the fuck happened to you guys? To make you like things like this? Jacking off to Floor tiles, or this backpack thing. We're you all abused in some way? Are you all autistic? I'd see a therapist ASAP if I were you, for it seems like you guys just aren't they type of people who can hold a normal conversation with someone without talking about how much you enjoy sonic fanart of Rose shitting out Tails.

I'm serious, I'm not mad at you guys, but this is concerning. Take a long, hard look at yourselves. Did you ever stop and thing "This is not normal"? I hope you did at some point, because then you might be on the road to recovery. How can you ever get a girlfriend (Or boyfriend, I don't want to assume on your orientation) if you insist on going on one rising on his or her back? There's tons of experts in most cities who would be glad to listen to people like you.

Those two characters are from awakening, and one's the cliché of the hunk hitting on every girl, and the other one the cliché of the tsundere, to the point they even gave her long twintails. I don't think it's that weird or uncalled for she'd insult him like that…

I haven't seen the original, though, so maybe that's why I don't mind.

How is that SJWism ? That's my question. "gross" and "baby" aren't exclusive to tumblrtards. I mean we keep hearing them use it, but come on.

I guess "problematic" would've done it a bit more, but even then, people who don't care about that crap or just don't listen to those retards don't really know it's so "dirtied" by status activists. So they might use the word just because… well, something is a bit of a problem, so they say it's problematic.

Yeah, nowhere do these insults seem to convey that same thing. I'm not really all too bothered -it's a rather "free" translation, but still, not too far off from the overall tone of their argument-, and still not at all convinced it's "SJWism" in the slightest. But eh. I think overall everyone's kinda "they've shat on this corpse so fucking much we're only expecting it to become vomit the moment something sounds off".

The real question is if there's a list of translators that worked on this mess. Ones that actually worked on the game. There's plenty of circumstantial evidence of it just being a shit translation, but that would cement the deal.

Also stop man Katie won't sleep with you no matter how much you white knight her kneejerks reactions. You should know what I am talking about

That's not really an effective argument, it fits the localised version of the character yes but who can really say without playing both language versions. I've been told that Awakening changed some characters quite a bit in localisation.

A furry recently posted a nice drawing of Vivian and asked who wanted it. It was low resolution and needed some finishing touches, so I thought he'll repost it in full when he's done and tweeted at him that it's great and naturally I want it. Got a DM asking for $70 + shipping for it. Really a bummer since the image was nice.

I don't have an issue with artists wanting to get paid, but that's a bit much for that kind of pic.
